Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2895

Soon, chaos erupted throughout the town. People who lived in the wastelands meant nothing to a behemoth like the Ludendorff family. In the eyes of someone like Marshall, these lowlifes were not even worth as much as livestock.

After all, animals still had value for breeding or slaughter. However, these peasants were like weeds by the roadside, trampled at will, and completely useless.

"Stop! You monsters, stop right now!" The moment he returned to town, Louie exploded in rage.

However, when he saw the Ludendorff warriors and the rows of massive off-road vehicles, his heart sank.

He recognized the emblem on the vehicles. The roaring lion was the symbol of the Ludendorff family, the kings of the wastelands.

In the Outlands, this mark was the nightmare of countless people.

Marshall waved his hand and ordered his men to step back. Only when Louie walked forward, trembling, did Marshall raise an eyebrow and ask, "You are the one in charge here?"

Louie took off his hat and replied with a shaking voice. "Yes, sir. I am the mayor of this town. If you have any requests, please let me know. I beg you, do not harm the townsfolk."

Marshall said indifferently, "Originally, I had no interest in trash like you. But unfortunately, I am hunting a Holtrien, and he passed through here. You understand what I mean, right?"

Louie's face turned pale. Then, it went from pale to deathly white. He certainly knew who Marshall was looking for.

It was the person who had just cleared out the town's biggest threat.

Andrew's smiling face still lingered in Louie's mind. Coming from Holtrien, with black hair and black eyes, he had been polite and considerate to everyone in town.

Marshall chuckled with amusement. "Interesting. You are clearly terrified, yet you are forcing yourself to say nothing. It seems that he did something that made you choose to protect him, even at the cost of your life, did he not?"

Louie shook his head desperately. "Sir, you have truly misunderstood. If we had really seen a Holtrien man pass through, we would never dare hide it from you. The Ludendorff family rules this land. We lowly people would never dare to disobey."

The smile vanished from Marshall's face, replaced by endless gloom. "Excellent! You are aware that the Ludendorff family is the ruler of this land, and your miserable life exists under their rule. Yet even so, you still had the nerve to lie to me. Yet even so, you still had the audacity to deceive me and lie to my face!"

As Louie's expression twisted in horror, Marshall suddenly raised his right hand.

At once, Timmy, who had been hiding in the back and trembling, was yanked into the open, straight into Marshall's grip.
